I never knew you Aiden, but you’ve given me the hope to continue living. I’m going through a really rough time in my life right now, and was even contemplating suicide. You’ve inspired me to never give up, and I thank you for that. May you live on forever in the hearts of so many, Rest in Peace.

I taught Aiden science in elementary school and only just learned of his struggle and his death. I am stunned and heartsick. I offer up my love and prayers to his family and friends that were with him throughout all of his life. I cannot repair or make whole the part of you that has been ripped away by the loss of him. I can bear witness to your pain and not turn my back on others who struggle to find their safe place in this world.
All my love,
Sam

My name is Becky Byrd and I am on the Board of Directors of Transgender FORGE (Florida Organization Regarding Gender Equality). We are a non-profit focusing on education and advocacy for and about the transgender community. I recently put together a service for Transgender Day of Rememberance. My fiance Ryan (who was born female like Aiden) made a video for the service addressing transgender suicide. Aiden has a part in it and I wanted to give you the link in case you wanted to post it here. I cannot tell you how moved to tears I (and many others) were by his story. What a beautiful child Aiden was. We have put the video on YouTube in the hopes that someone similar to Aiden might see it and it might make a difference.
I wish you all the comfort and peace in this world,
Becky
